Lyndon School
About Lyndon School
Lyndon School sits in Solihull, a local authority where only two of its 17 secondary schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. Lyndon itself is rated Good, and it ranks third among all 15 state secondaries in the borough by Progress 8 score, placing it in the top quarter nationally. Its closest high-performing peers are Tudor Grange Academy, Solihull and Arden, both of which score higher on the same metric, while Alderbrook School sits just behind Lyndon. The school is led by headteacher Syreeta Kapswara and serves 1,184 pupils aged 11 to 16, with no sixth form on site. It is a mixed, non-religious state school with a capacity of 1,380, and just over 30% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals — a figure that gives a sense of the community it draws from.
